How it Works:
The Safewalls Insulating basecoat expands in a fire to create a resilient insulating barrier.
The Safewalls Anti-Viral Smoke and Flame Retardant emits a safe fire-damping vapor in a fire to control flame spread and suppress smoke.
The product’s polyurethane-hardened acrylic “cross-links” during the drying process to form a smoother, harder, and more cleanable surface.
The coating contains biocidal metal encapsulated nanoparticles that attack viruses and bacteria, damaging their protective envelopes and killing their live cores.
